Great Vibes
A formal roundhand, and the only one in the archive drawn with the weight distribution of a real broad nib rather than a uniform stroke. The capitals carry long entry strokes, the lowercase joins properly at the baseline, and the contrast is severe enough that the hairlines disappear below about twenty pixels. It is also far larger than its neighbours here, with a Cyrillic set alongside the Latin and around two thousand glyphs where most script faces carry three hundred. The lowercase is under half the height of the capitals, so it needs setting bigger than it looks like it needs.

Questions
- Is Great Vibes free for commercial use?
- Yes. Great Vibes is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Great Vibes in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Great Vibes belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Robert Leuschke. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Great Vibes?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Great Vibes support Turkish?
- Yes. Great Vibes includes the characters Turkish needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- Does Great Vibes support Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended and Vietnamese?
- Yes. Great Vibes covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended and Vietnamese, across 2,025 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
